<strong>Project</strong> 6<br />

Concurrent Access<br />

Deletion<br />

UNIX semantics ‡ .<br />

<strong>File</strong> is immediately unopenable (e.g. removed from<br />

directory structures).<br />

Blocks are not placed onto the free list immediately.<br />

Applications using the file are unaffected.<br />

Actually delete when the last application closes the file.<br />

Recycling blocks requires reference counting.<br />

Changes made after deletion are lost.<br />

Windows semantics<br />

If the file is being read or written, the deletion fails.<br />

‡ We will be looking at this when grading
